In order to make information relate to the newly founded school, Trinity Academy for the Performing Arts (TAPA), I have compiled a list of data of the mostly the middle schools and high schools in Providence. The Trinity Academy for the Performing Arts, as of the data collected from 2012 - 2013 academic year, only had students enrolled in grades 7 through 12. All of the information below has been retrieved from InfoWorks! so that current and relevant information to the school (on my partner's page) can be compared to the Providence district as a whole.
Accountability
On the composite index measures of the state of Rhode Island in the area of proficiency, the middle schools of Providence scored a 10 out 30 whereas the high schools, also of Providence, scored 11 out of 30. The achievement gap at the middle schools received a 16.5 out of thirty and the high schools had a score of 19.5 out of 30 on the composite index measure chart. However, their progress is very well, the middle schools achieved a 10 and the high schools 7 out of the highest composite score of a 10.
Testing
Only 7th through 12th grades were enrolled and the only assessment that was taken at TAPA was the NECAP test. Out of the seventh graders in the Providence district who took the assessment, 34% passed the math with proficient. In the reading section, 46% of those students that took the test passed with proficiency. At the 8th grade level, 34% passed the math and 57% passed the reading with a proficient score. Those at the 8th grade level also took a writing section and science section; those passed with proficiency were 46% and 9% respectively.
Students
In the Providence school district, 93% of middle school students attend regularly and at the high school level, 89% do. Overall, the district has a 92% attendance rate. The middle schools have 23% of their students that have had chronic absenteeism and the high schools, 36%. The city's students are majorly Hispanic, being 64% of the enrolled students. African-American students are another 18% and White another 9% of the student body. The remaining student population is 5% Asian, 3% multiracial and 1% Native American.
The number of incidents of Anger or violence in the school district of Providence at the middle school level has reported 1,153 incidents. However, 711 of them were caused because of fighting and threats/intimidation cases. At the high school level, only 497 incidents were reported and 299 of them involved fighting and threats/intimidation. It is unknown exactly how safe the district's students feel as a whole in and out of school and how they feel about the quality of their teachers.
